Novoshakhtinsk, Russia - More water flooded into a coal mine Sunday as rescuers laboured to reach 13 miners they believe could still be alive after being trapped hundreds of metres underground for a third day. On Saturday, 33 trapped, exhausted miners were brought to the surface. But emergency workers were unable to locate the position of 13 others in the Zapadnaya mine in southern Russia. "As far as we know, they are in a dry place with a temperature of 24 (Celsius)," said Viktor Kapkanshchikov, head of the Emergency Situations Ministry's rescue operation, on Sunday. But water was rising at such a rate that the mine could be completely flooded by midday Tuesday, he said.
